On Monday, the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee (BOCOG) issued a detailed handbook of ground rules (the 57 points) for foreign visitors to this summer's Games, including a list of six types of foreigners that are not welcome. Even though local newspaper did not list the six types of foreigners, one by one. Danwei found the list of the unwelcome foreigners in Chinese and translated it as below:


Six Types of Unwelcome Foreigners for Beijing Olympics are -

1. People who have been deported or prohibited from entering China by the Chinese government.

2. Those who are suspected might commit acts of terrorism, violence or subversion after entering China.

3. Those who are suspected might engage in smuggling, drug dealing or prostitution after entering China.

4. Those suffering from mental disorders or insanity, sexually transmitted diseases, tuberculosis or other infectious diseases.

5. Those who cannot guarantee their ability to support themselves financially while in China.

6. Those who are suspected might engage in any acts that threaten the security or interests of China.
